Notes & reviews

• Debut for umpire Augie Donatelli
• Debut game for Sam Jethroe
• Mueller played it badly but ruled a triple
• Into the deep RCF region of the lower tier
• Drilled through the spot vacated by Stanky
• over the LF roof
• Ump Barlick ruled the 270' drive hit just inside the lower RF tier before bouncing back onto the field.
• Dark: great diving catch, but the ball fell out of his glove when his elbows hit the ground.
• Into upper LF tier
• Debut game for Jack Maguire
• Thompson: great back-handed catch near box seats
• Eddie Stanky took a called second strike and argued with HP umpire Lee Ballanfant that Warren Spahn had quick-pitched him; Stanky was restrained by Giants manager Leo Durocher, who dragged him away before he could be ejected
• Off upper RF tier facade
• Kirby Higbe was called for a balk by HP umpire Lee Ballanfant for taking too much time to deliver a pitch
• Dark: nice play
